Get somefink else... This camera takes good general pictures, remember it's pretty cheap! A bridge camera would be good for macro.

I love using this lens for Macro. In fact that is what I end up doing with it about most of the time as I rarely use it as the wide angle lens. After using it way more I found the the edges are always blurry with the wide angel lens. You can crop off the blurry parts. So just be sure to not center peopl/items all way to edge. As for macro pics. Love it to do so! Only downfall it has a narrow depth of field. But for the price can't beat it. I do have a set of 4 lens I like better. But this lens is not bad, and I do still use it want medium magnification. I say medium because when you extend the lens all the way out with this lens say on a kit lens to .55 you get some vignetting. Works best on mid range on lens. But for the money well worth it. Becuase if you are like me macro lens are out of the league at the time. Magnification is .45. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

I have this problem But I don't understand your solution, Bruce. Could you or someone explain it again please?You appear to be saying that if the camera is at something like a standard focal length you can choose both Macro and MF. But you can't - not on mine anyway!In my experience, the camera will not focus below 1ft. The image stays blurred and often the yellow central focus frame will display a question mark.Auto-focus does not work in Macro either - so to all practical purposes the camera has no Macro mode. If someone has a fix for this I'd be very interested.

It isn't really a macro lens but in the true sense but you can zoom from a distance to get a nice close-up say for portrait. It's a telephoto lens.

The macro works great with this camera. I decided to purchased this camera after reading a review by a 'pro' photographer who also show examples of macro shots. Link: http://www.theinspiredeye.net/panasonic-dmc-lf1-camera-review-an-amazing-pocket-multi-tool/#more-2506

Technicly this is a wide angle to portrait size lens not a macro lens. That being said yes you can do close ups of small objects. You will however have distortion in the wide angle range. A 100mm macro lens is a better choice for macro photoography.

I have the Rebel XTI and I've taken some great close up pictures with the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro.I also have the 70-200mm f/4, 17-55mm f2.8, 85mm f1.8 and the 17-40 f/4, but my favorite is the 100mm macro with the 70-200mm f/4 a very close second.

Use iA and as close as 1cm. Use a tripod or hold still. Do not block the light. This is the equivalent to a $1000 DSLR macro lens(not counting other lenses for mid and telephoto); not including the body which would be at least a D90 body, to get similar camera features. There are many pros and cons but MACRO is a FZ28 strength.

This is an amazing camera. The only thing it doesn't do is close Macro. If I'm not using my NEX7 or 60d, this is the camera I use, and alot of times I differ to it for the ease of useage & pic quality. For what you want , you'll be very happy & then some.

I personally love this lens. But then, I am not trying to photograph bugs with it. My photos are perfect and have caught some great photos of hummingbirds I was shooting recently. I have a Canon T3. It does Macro.

I measured the attaching thread, the Macro is 12.82mm & is required for Wide. I don't know how good they work together. Macro is for close-ups & wide is for wide or big pictures. hopefully it wasn't just a convenient way to adapt the 13.8mm wide lens to the mounting 13mm hole. I just got the 'Camera FV-5 Lite APP' from Google Play .. it looks awesome, even has a stabilizer, picture timer for sharp pictures, for shaky hands.

I have the Canon 50mm 1.4. The Bokeh is not very good. not a good choice for macro. I'm now looking for a macro lens.

My wife thinks this is an awesome camera, and I'm such a good husband for getting it for her. She is using it indoors for her eBay pictures, so to answer your question directly, yes we find it suitable. I've taken closeup pictures of things just a couple of inches away, thus it has a macro capability for very close work. My wife is very pleased with her FinePix, and had been grabbing it instead of her Canon SLR frequently.

I would recommend a macro lens instead of this... I have both and my macro lens ALWAYS takes better shots! And the macro lens was cheaper! I just got the one with a magnetic ring that goes on my iPhone! Hope this helped!

I bought, then returned this camera. Look at the D3300 - a newer and better model. I suggest you try out the kit lens for macro shots before you purchase a specific macro lens.
